FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the stretch material and moisture-wicking properties make them highly suitable for long days on the trail.
Does the insect-repellent finish wash out?
The repellent technology is integrated into the fabric, but its effectiveness may gradually diminish after many washes.
What is the material composition?
These shorts are crafted from a technical blend of polyamide-nylon and elastane, including recycled materials.
Can I wear these in the water?
While they are water-repellent, they are not specifically designed as swimwear, though they will dry quickly if splashed.
How do I know which size to pick?
They feature a standard mid-rise fit; check the provided size guide to ensure your waist measurements align with the UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be fading
Reactivate the DWR coating by tumble drying the shorts on a low heat setting for 15 minutes after washing.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which leaves a residue; rinse again with cold water to remove build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts remain in optimal condition, wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the H2OShield and insect-repellent properties of the fabric. Always tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the technical fibers. The belt loops are compatible with standard 1.5-inch webbing belts, and the mid-rise cut offers a versatile silhouette that pairs well with both performance hiking boots and casual sneakers.
